Effects of Hydrostatic High Pressure on the Permeability of Plasma Membrane 1. Resting Current of Muscle

Having taken observation on the resting current as hydrostatic high pressure has been evenly imposed upon isolated muscle (frog's gastrocnemius), obtained the following results;- Due to the high pressure, injury potential of skeletal muscle decreases remarkably, while electric conductivity of any muscle indieafes a great inerease. These facts may probably ascribed to the augmented permeabilily of plasma membrane, due to high pressure.
